Application attributes demonstrated by Pristyne™ : Even pore size distribution Anti-adhesive surface Outstanding chemical and thermal durability Because of these attributes Pristyne™ can be recommended and show real “cost for life” benefits against other products in many challenging applications. The surface membrane structure is an ideal medium for the separation of very fine agglomerating dust particles and in addition the hydrophobic character of the membrane enhances the filter media cleaning process. Benefits demonstrated by Pristyne™ : Improved particle collection Efficient cleaning/reduced residual pressure drop Reduced operating costs To ensure the best market coverage for Pristyne™ in addition to modern manufacturing facilities and industry technical support and service. W.L. Gore has appointed Lockertex to exclusively manage sales, manufacturing and support in the UK and Ireland. Lockertex is ideally qualified to fulfil this role based on its previous record of work within the filtration and separation industry and represents another significant step in the continued commitment to offer the latest developments in particle control and air cleaning technology.  Expanded PTFE (ePTFE) membrane filtration products can provide the best performance results in many difficult particle collection or air cleaning applications. Pristyne™ filter media is a new ePTFE membrane product introduced by W. L. Gore and takes advantage of almost 30 years of Gore’s membrane expertise to provide a material with proven quality, consistency and performance at a competitive price.

Performance During rigorous testing and even after thousands of rapid cleaning cycles, Pristyne filter media still out performed all competitive membrane media in its price category for residual pressure drop and air permeability.
